Keep in mind that, even with a holistic review, the program receives many applications so it is a competitive process and the School of Social Work is only making a recommendation to the Graduate School regarding admission. You also might consider taking up to two post-baccalaureate courses before applying to the program. It is recommended that if you do not meet the minimum GPA requirement, you comment on this in the Statement of Purpose. Some applicants have been out of school a lot time and are concerned their GPA may not be competitive. Examples include high undergraduate grades in courses related to writing, research, and statistics. If an applicant has a low overall GPA, the Admissions Committee will look for other evidence of the applicant's potential for success in the MSW Program. The applicant's Statement of Purpose (essay), recommendations, and related experience is important as well. While earning a particular GPA is not a guarantee of admission, a competitive application is generally one where the applicant meets the minimum of a 3.0 GPA for entrance into graduate programs.
The program also values diversity, an applicant's commitment to social justice and a range of life experiences that will enrich the class. The Admissions Committee is looking for students who will be successful in graduate school.
The School of Social Work uses a holistic review process, taking into account the applicant's life journey. In admissions, we talk in terms of general, rather than specific figures. Students frequently wish to know how high their grades need to be for admission in the MSW Program.
